Reviews
Perfectly Broken Perfectly Performed "...Once in a while I come across something that I just can't push aside and demands that I listen to it. [This] CD has done that to me. It's the combination of the music, [Alex's] voice and the lyrics that makes it impossible to stop listening."
Hi Alex, how ya been? I just watched the video of Perfectly Broken from your Earth Day set on your friend Andi Rae's site. Sounded really good. Hope everything is going well. Peace, John
Thank you for taking a listen to my music. Glad you liked what you heard!
I hope you'll stop by www.davidshelbymusic.com to hear a sampling of all the tracks from my debut CD, I Came to Play. I look forward to hearing what you think.
Hi Alex, just thought I'd stop by and say hi. I noticed you had a show with the Phillip Glass Ensemble in December. Wow!!! How was that. I imagine it was pretty cool. I like a lot of his work. Anyway just wanted to say hello and have a Happy New Year. Take care.
Hi Alex, I tried to RSVP to your show tonight but it kept saying there was a technical error so I thought I'd leave a note here. Obviously I can't make it but I wish I could , New York is a little too far away unfortunately. Have a great show. Sounds like a sweet line up. ( I wish I knew someone who played acoustic bass. ) Have a great night. Come through Cleveland again sometime!
